2 Learning goals
The course «Enterprise Architecture» is aimed on acquiring the basic level of knowledge about the Enterprise
Architecture subject, including:
The understanding of EA as a key area of enterprise engineering that provides:
o The coherence of business operations to mission and goals of one’s company,
o The actuality of current state of an enterprise, transparency of its business-processes,
o Controlled transformation of its’ business asserts,
o Increase of business performance using information technologies (IT).
The basics of business-process modelling, creating organization charts, information and technology
architectures;
The basics in enterprise engineering: main models and methodologies of enterprise building.
The service orientation during EA building, as well as technological opportunities for Big Data
handling as a source of sustainable competitive advantage (CA).

During The active participation The mark is composed from the The active
studies on lections and seminars home assignment results involvement into
(essays, presentations) and from seminar discussions
the level of student involvement (questions &
into seminars (Оseminar) answers, suggestions,
voluntary reports
made, etc.)
Express-assignment Express assignment
(before the lecture) Mark for express-assignment, could happen before
Оassignment any lecture (10-15
minutes) in form of
opened questions. It
checks the amount of
course content
understood during
the course.
Mid-term The aggregated results The aggregated All assignment marks
of assignments mark, Оcollected are taken into
consideration
Exam Mark for exam, Answers in written or
Оexam electronic form
Final Aggregated results of Final mark, Оfinal All marks are taken
mid-term milestones into consideration as
well as the mid-term
results
For gaining marks the 10-grade scale is used, where 1 is the lowest mark, 10 the highest.
A tutor appraises the student’s work during lections and seminars according to criteria are mentioned in 6.1.
Student marks are collected into the resulting table. The collected mark for student involvement into seminar
work is formed before the exam.

for bachelor “Business informatics” and master “Big Data Systems” students (38.04.05)
A tutor appraises also the self-preparation of students. It is taken into consideration the correctness of tasks
accomplishment: this appraisal is being put into the working table. Collected mark for self-preparation is
detected before the mid-term or final examination.
The collected mark for current control takes into consideration the students the following way:
k1 + k2 =1,
where:
k1, k2 – are weighted coefficients, that comprises the significance of class work and self-preparation;
the exact values are detected by a tutor depending on the overall level of the group;
The final mark for the course is calculated the following way:
Оfinal = k3 * Оcollected + k4 * Оexam ,
k3 + k4 = 1,
where:
k3 , k4 – are weighted coefficients, that comprises the significance of class work and self-preparation;
the exact values are detected by a tutor depending on the overall level of the group;
